A is for Annapolis. Sounds like it should be in Greece, but sadly, it's only Maryland, USA.

A pair of adult budgies, female on the left (brown cere) and male on the right (blue cere).

#BirdoftheDay #Mr&Mrs #EastCoastKin #photography #birds
Sex in adult budgies can be generally determined by the color of their cere, the area around the nostrils. In healthy adults, the female's is brown and the male's is blue. There can be some variation if the birds are ill or if hormonal levels are low. In the wild, a female's cere is light blue until breeding season.

"First Visitors," oil on canvas panel, 14 x 11 inches, 2025

I wasn't sure what this piece was until I started painting the figure. It's pretty loose because I worked with no plan, but I think I like it, which is rare for me.

An indigenous person with brightly colored clothing and with colored strands interwoven with long hair, looks off to the right with a concerned expression, seeing, perhaps, a tall ship in the harbor for the first time.

Some of my favorite birds in #silhouette for #BirdoftheDay

I took the oldest of these back when I was in grad school in the early 1800s.
